Ion Exchange Resins And Adsorbents In Chemical Processing

This book discusses various examples on the use of ion exchange in chemical processing, mainly in aqueous systems but also in non-aqueous systems and in gas streams. The theory behind these examples is briefly discussed in order to make the subjects better understood. The focus is on ion exchange rather than on chemical processing, it is therefore addressed to all those working in chemical processing industries or in parallel industries for whom ion exchange is not their primary field of experience.

Demineralization by Ion Exchange: In Water Treatment and Chemical Processing of Other Liquids presents the methods of demineralization by ion exchange to completely remove dissolved impurities from water and other liquids. This book discusses the developments as well as the engineering and practical aspects in demineralization. Organized into 14 chapters, this book begins with an overview of the history of ion exchange. This text then provides data on the demineralizer equipment, specifying proper materials of construction and design of the shells, their internal distributors, piping, and valves. Other chapters consider the method and equipment design that will help solve water treatment or chemical processing problem with the greatest reliability and economy. This book discusses as well the technical calculations showing how the demineralizer systems are selected. The final chapter deals with the designs of many actual full-scale plants. This book is a valuable resource for executives, consultants, engineers, engineering students, and chemists.

The book reviews the use of ion exchange resins and synthetic adsorbents in food industries such as sugar (sucrose), monosaccharides (glucose, fructose, tagatose), polyols, oligosaccharides such as inulin, synthetic sweeteners such as sucralose, fruit juices (orange juice, apple juice, other fruit juices), milk whey, amino acids, organic acids (citric, lactic, malic acid), gelatin, glycerin, nutraceuticals (vitamins, polyphenols) and various other applications such as pectins and wine stabilization. The focus is on ion exchange rather than on food processing, it is therefore addressed to all those working in food processing industries or in parallel industries for whom ion exchange is not their primary field of experience.

Ion Exchange: Theory and Application focuses on the applications, complexities, and theoretical aspects of ion exchange. This book discusses the kinetics of fixed-bed ion exchange; fundamental properties of ion exchange resins; ion exchange equipment design; and ion exchange in water treatment. The multistage systems in ion exchange; desalting sea water; applications of ion exchange to the separation of inorganic cations; and ion exchange as a tool in analytical chemistry are also elaborated. This text likewise covers the metal concentration and recovery by ion exchange; catalytic application of ion exchangers; and use of ion exchange adsorbents in biochemical and physiological studies. Other topics include the separation of amino acids by ion exchange chromatography; sugar refining and by-product recovery; and ion exchange recovery of alkaloids. This publication is a good reference for chemists and students interested in ion exchange.

Ion Exchange Technology serves both as a reference and as a text book for technologists and engineers. While the present book is based mainly on ion exchange as practiced in the United States, the object was to produce a generally useful book which would deal with the fundamental problems, techniques, and operations of ion exchange such as mass transfer, equipment design, properties of ion exchange resins, and deionization. Also include are chapters on two types of applications—those that are used industrially on a large scale, and those which have not yet reached large-scale use but have impressive potentialities. In both the fundamental and applied chapters it was deemed necessary that the successful aspects of ion exchange operation be included. In addition, it was equally important to describe the problems and the inherent complexities encountered in the setting up of an ion exchange process. Wherever possible the economic factors were described realistically.
